Yam Lily Syrup

1. Wash dried lilies and red dates and soak for 1 hour.

2. Peel the yam and cut into pieces.

3. Take a large bowl and soak the yam in light salt water to prevent oxidation and blackening.

4. Add enough water to the soup pot, boil on high heat, put the yam, lily, and red dates together, and change it to medium heat.

5. Boil for 40 minutes, wait for the remaining half of the water, put the rock sugar in.

6. Continue to cook until the rock sugar is completely melted.

Tips:
1. Using a metal knife to cut yam will produce oxidation, which can cause the yam to turn black, so it is best to use a bamboo knife or a plastic knife when cutting yam. You can also soak the cut yam in cold water with vinegar or lemonade, and then remove the decanted water when cooking, so that the yam will not turn black even if it is not eaten right away.

2. Efficacy of yam: calm the heart and calm the mind, nourish the spleen and stomach, and benefit the lungs and kidneys.

3. Chinese yam can nourish yin and help dampness, so it is not suitable for those who are full of wetness, stagnation, or real evil. We need to remind everyone that eating yam generally has no obvious contraindications, but because of its astringent effect, it is contraindicated for those who suffer from colds, dry stools, and gastrointestinal stagnation.
